5. y = -3 x - 8
6. y = - 1/2 x + 1
The value of X would be 3.6 because if you divide the 4 by 2 to get the half triangle you now know the base and height for the triangle. Now you have to use tangent -1 to figure out the bottom right angle which is 56.3 degrees. Once you have the angle you can use Sin to figure out the missing side.
The answer to your problem would be 0.05
Answer:
x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
V= x^2y = 500
Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.
From the first equation y = 500/x^2
So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:
A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2
A = x^2 + 2000/x
Finding the derivative:
dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2
dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2
This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so
2x - 2000/x^2 = 0
2x^3 - 2000 = 0
x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000
x = 10
Second derivative is 2 + 4000/x^3
when x = 10 this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.
So y = 500/x^2
= 500/100
= 5.
